Rising Appalachia

About: Rising Appalachia

Rising Appalachia brings to the stage a collection of sounds, stories, and
songs steeped in tradition and a devotion to world culture. Intertwining a deep
reverence for folk music and a passion for justice, they have made it their
life’s work to sing songs that speak to something ancient yet surging with
relevance. Whether playing at Red Rocks or in rail cars, at Italian street
fairs or to Bulgarian herbalists, this fiercely independent band has blazed a
unique and colorful path across the globe. 11 years into their movement, Rising
Appalachia believes that the roots of all these old songs are vital to our ever
evolving soundscape.

Led by the collective voice of sisters Leah and Chloe, and joined by their
beloved band – percussionist Biko Casini and bassist/guitarist David Brown –
Rising Appalachia is a melting pot of folk music simplicity, textured
songwriting, and those bloodline harmonies that only siblings can pull off.
Listen for a tapestry of song, clawhammer banjo tunes, fiddle, double bass,
acoustic guitar, djembe, barra, bodhran, spoken word, and a wealth of musical
layering that will leave you called to action and lulled into rhythmic dance
simultaneously. It is both genre
bending and familiar at the same time. Proudly born and raised in the concrete
jungle of Atlanta, Georgia, sharpening their instincts in the mountains of
Appalachia, and fine tuning their soul on the streets of New Orleans they have
crafted a 6-album career from the dusts of their passion.

In 2015 Rising Appalachia founded
the Slow Music Movement, to help maintain an independent musical spirit in the
face of such a fast-paced world. They are creatively committed to keeping their
work accessible at the local street level as well as expanding to larger
audiences abroad, and have continued to maintain autonomy by self- managing,
recording, producing and creating, and directing their work.

They are greatly honored to do the work that they do.

“Music is the tool with which we wield political prowess. Melody for the
Roots of each of us…spreading song and sound around the globe. Music has become
our script for vision- not just for aural pleasure, not just for hobby, but now
as a means to connect and create in ways that we aren’t taught by mainstream
culture. We are building community and tackling social injustice through
melody, making the stage reach out with wide arms to gather this great family.
It has taken on its own personality, carrying us all along the journey. Here's
to poetic observations, social change, lyrical messages, political focus,
symphonic coercing, ferocious bantering, bicycles and train tracks, primal
will, fresh air, harmony, flow, and beautiful noise. ”- Leah Song.
